1. Stupid post

6. What is really stupid,

is an economic system that seeks to concentrate resources and enrich a small class of people at the expense of everyone else, through the denial of basics like education and healthcare. Such a system is clearly illogical and unjust.

8. We could always start one.

I suppose we should be careful not to make too much money from it, though.

9. You know what?

If you did start such a company and sold so many it made you rich beyond your dreams and every single one was used to lop off the heads of the oligarchs worldwide, many on DU would hate you for getting rich from making a product that sold in large quantities.

10. Wealth will eat itself.

Whether by the gibbets or by selling themselves their own nooses.

11. Remember what happened to the French guy who pushed for the guillotinings?

If not, look it up.

12. I don't know if you're referring to Murat or Danton...

but in either case, it wasn't pretty.

Danton: Guillotined basically for being too nice and suggesting that maybe they should be trying to pass laws to restore order and end terror as a political tool of the revolution.

Murat: Stabbed to death in the bathtub by the daughter of a woman he sadistically-tortured and executed; she gained access to him by pretending to be a prostitute.

13. Tax the rich now ...

... or eat them later.

14. Why wait? Aren't there enough poor already?

What defines wealthy? Having a retirement fund? Owning a boat? Living in a home with a nicely cut yard?


I know to me anyone with enough money for a car payment is wealthy.
